GUSTAV MANZ'S "MIDDLE KINGDOM"


Over the holidays we plan to trek over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a look at the 230 objects on loan for its current show "Ancient Egypt Transformed" (through January 24, 2016). Meantime, here's a throwback glimpse of Manz's long flirtation with ancient Egyptian motifs...
